Actually according to many books on the Battle of Britain it is clear there was no real start date, since the first aircraft shot down was a bomber in the Forth of Firth in about April time ( sorry I don't have the book readily available at the moment ), and then there were still raids going into November although smaller scale nuisance raids.
Even the BoB day of 15th September is merely just a day of particulary heavy fighting, it neither symbolises the beginning or end of the battle. :-?
